QR Code

Devised in 1994 by Toyota. Used in UK as a gimmick

for marketing.

We wanted to use QR codes in addition to labels

We installed QR codes in Derby museum on sample objects

Visitors were reading facts not written by curators

Both Wikipedians and curators could edit the Wikipedia page

“Collateral damage”

The Wikipedia article about Derby is now in 60 languages. Most objects in the museum now have a QRpedia code.

However:

Nearby bridges got articles, churches, the library next door, castles, archaeological sites and in different languages

Paintings that people thought were in Derby (but are not) got articles

Paintings that were in storage got articles
